How to Find Who Assigned Retention Labels to SharePoint Files

Retention label assignments

A reader asked if it’s possible to discover who made retention label assignments for SharePoint files. The Files Graph API can’t tell you who (or what policy) made retention label assignments, but it’s possible to find this information in the audit log and use that data to report the requested information. All with a few lines of PowerShell!

Search-UnifiedAuditLog Gets High Completeness Capability

A new preview feature supports high completeness audit log searches. These searches are optimized to make sure that they find every matching audit instead of finishing as quickly as possible. High completeness audit log searches do take more time but their results are accurate and they find more records than Search-UnifiedAuditLog was able to in the past. Looks like a good new feature.
